I'm So Excited!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
This is my 500th POST!!!!!
For almost 3 years I have
been chit chating about a
variety of things with you--
my fellow blog friends!
Blogging helped me during
the years that Ken was out
of work. It gave me a
distraction from the "what
now" questions we were
dealing with at the time.
Now I enjoy getting to
know all of you more and
making more new friends.
It is also fun to find new
crafting ideas, recipes
amd learning about new
products being used in
blogland.
Sharing our lives with you
and you letting us share in
yours has been great too!
To celebrate this milestone
I am having a SUMMER
MYSTERY GIVEAWAY!
This is my way of thanking
you for hanging out here
with me.
All you have to do to be
entered is: tell me something
that you have taken away
with you from a visit.
It could be a recipe, a craft
idea, a piece of trivia etc.
I'll put the names in a basket
and Ken will do the big draw
NEXT Sunday.
Thanks again for hanging out
with me AND Ken, we have
enjoyed your company.
If you know of someone who
would like to hang out here
let them know about us here
at Country Dreaming.
Happy Father's Day to all the
Dad's and those who Father.
Enjoy your day!!!!
~Keep on Dreaming~

  5. Well... congrats on the 500th post!!!!! I just turned 400 ( we're slackers in Baltimore)

    Lets see.. what I most enjoy from your posts are those crazy fun facts and "holidays" that you teach us about!! I should add that you got me into the habit of giving back to the hospitals ~ which is a wonderful thing!

    Loved learning about you and Mr Ken. I love my bloggy friends.

    Happy 501 and after!

    Well I love reading your posts and getting to know you. One post on tie dying came in handy recently. I knew right where to buy the kit you mentioned and we did some tie dying at the library today with our teen group.

  13. 500 posts! We started blogging around the same time, and I've done only 317 posts. That shows you are far more disciplined than I am. Congrats! What I've taken away isn't necessarily things you've posted, although you sure have some yummy recipes. It's more about you sharing your life with your readers--the places you go, what you're doing. And also, that you stop by my blog to say hi. It's about friendship.

    What I enjoy about your blog is that you share so much of you...and that you enjoy your friends and eating icecream LOL (me too). Also that you and Ken are the perfect couple and are so sweet together.
